| New and Improved Chances!
I think I posted here about a year ago, but things have taken a drastic upturn since then. Chances/advice are hugely appreciated! Here goes...
I'm a white female student at one of the best public schools in NC (not that that's saying too much, probably)
UW GPA: 3.3571
W GPA: 3.9286 (our school has a crazy high weighting system, I know)
Class Rank: 33/130 (barely top 25%, I think)
SAT: 2240 (800CR/700M/740W [E9])
SAT II: 800 US History, 770 French, 790 Literature
PSAT: 224 (80 CR/74M/70W)
Will almost certainly be a Semi-Finalist. Finalist, of course, is just a toss-up, especially with my grades.

US History
French
Psychology (self-studied)
